Cosmogramma

Released

Steven Ellison breaks big with his Brakhage-of-sound mix of spiritual free jazz, raw-knuckled glitch, manic fusion, and rule-agnostic hip-hop that converge to waylay you with rhythmic ingenuity. And then, just as you’re getting immersed in the beat, a weasel-chase bass run or an incredible melting synthesizer or a sample soaked in ectoplasm ups the bliss-haze unreality. Collaborators from famous friends (Thom Yorke as living breathing Burial vocal) to longtime partners (Thundercat in Bass God mode) to deep-time echoes (the spectral influence of his Auntie Alice Coltrane) make FlyLo’s out-of-body experiences feel intensely weighted.
